The second and last batch of photos taken in Melbourne and Brisbane during wintertime.
One of the highlights of the trip was Puffing Billy - this is the name of an old steam train which operates on a mountain track in the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne. I felt like I was living a century ago, when it was first put into use. The last stop was Gembrook, where we scoffed down tea and scones, and watched the unusual birds by the stream.
Brisbane was equally exciting as Melbourne - just with more sun :) We spent most of our time cycling along Brisbane River and soaking up the rays!

Customary food shot... Singapore airport

singapore!

I always love going to Singapore for a short holiday because there's so much to do - Universal Studios, Orchard Road, hawker centers, East Coast Park... My brother and I had such a good time devouring our char siew and wonton noodle. I also love the World War history between Great Britain and Singapore, which allows for precious time spent into attractions such as Fort Siloso. 

clayoquot wilderness resort

I can only imagine how magical it would be to stay in this "refined, remote, and remarkable" resort in British Columbia, away from the rest of the world and in my own luxurious tent surrounded by natural beauty. Someone sweep me off my feet and take me here. Please and thank you.

135 shots that will restore your faith in cinema

I love film and theatre, but it is not often that I come across a film that I really enjoy. This beautiful video is a compilation of parts from 86 different films, that promises to restore your faith - has it been lost - in cinema.


On a side note, my family and I are packing up our house to leave for Brisbane at the end of this month, to begin a new chapter in our lives... urgh. Strange as it will be to breathe deeply, I'll miss the skies over Jakarta, not to mention the food, the people, and the way of life.
There is nothing like home!

More photos from around my house. This theme gets repetitive but I'm making the most of it - I won't be here much longer anyway :(

how much does a hipster weigh?

I spent two weeks in Australia with my family... and had a wonderful time! The people are so friendly, the portions so large, and the tap water potable... I couldn't ask for much more :) enjoy.
